Innovation Management

Innovation Management is the management of innovation processes, referring both to production and organizational innovation. CeTIM reviews and partakes in these processes through education, research and both EU and IND project coordinations and cooperations.

The CeTIM competence center Innovation Management is striving for a better organization and understanding of innovation from the viewpoint of the ‘Technopreneur’. It is searching for organizational routines in entrepreneurship innovation, focusing on the patterns of successful growth, the structuring and restructuring possibilities of a company and its management systems during the innovation phase and the influence of clusters and networks on innovation process.
CeTIM cooperates with MBPW, Evobis and AZO – Anwendungszentrum, the DLR incubator. Two new European projects are CASTLE and ProAct. CASTLE is targeting the understanding of innovation routines and the role of clusters in the generation of a European Galileo Industry. ProAct compares regional political routines and their impact on innovation.
